Perpetua & WARC Release Industry First Amazon Marketing Cloud Benchmark Report The report provides an analysis of measurement and attribution across the entire shopper journey with Amazon Marketing Cloud to help advertisers understand the full marketing funnel impact.
Toronto, London (Wednesday, February 9, 2022) — Perpetua, a global leader in eCommerce advertising and intelligence software, along with WARC, the global marketing intelligence company, today released the first of its kind benchmark report analyzing the impact of brand building ads across the entire shopper journey with Amazon Marketing Cloud (AMC). Diving into AMC’s powerful dataset to learn the impact of awareness campaigns and their connection to conversions and sales, the Perpetua and WARC benchmark report uncovers key trends and attribution metrics across multiple advertising platforms and ad units including Amazon Sponsored Ads and Amazon DSP.
Adam Epstein, Co-President, Perpetua, said: “AMC data provides the insights on how to balance brand investment with the growing need to invest in ‘performance’ channels promising instant impact. Incorporating both brand building and performance elements in a campaign often increases the overall return on ad spend compared with spending on performance channels alone.”
David Tiltman, SVP Content at WARC, said: “In our 2021 white paper, ‘Rethinking Brand for the Rise of Digital Commerce’, we took a first step in reframing brand building as the creation of future demand. As Amazon continues to introduce new ad formats that create demand for brands and their products in support of full funnel marketing strategies advertisers will want to understand the true impact and outcomes for their awareness campaigns.”
The Perpetua and WARC AMC benchmark report gives a first look at how over-the-top video can influence new-to-brand customers, impression and conversions by hour for different ad types and purchasing period trends. The report reveals that consumers who purchase after viewing an OTT advertisement are more likely to be a new-to-brand (75% of users) than those who did not get exposed to an OTT advertisement (60% of users).
Brand building in an age of highly attributable performance marketing, requires new and unique datasets. As AMC grows, there is scope to analyze more brands and more types of interaction. So far, however, the findings reinforce the case for a balanced approach for marketers between building brands and converting existing demand.
